Nothing about Stedham "Chip" Maddox III's disappearance was suspicious, however, police said, because he suffers from mental illness and has gone missing before.

"We have no reason to believe that foul play was involved," Lt. Greg Paul said Wednesday.

Lenox Road resident Dennis Gibson reported his grandson missing four days after Maddox was last seen by co-workers at about 11 p.m. July 31, as he was leaving his job as dishwasher in the cafeteria of UGA's Georgia Center for Continuing Education on the university's South Campus.

At the time, Maddox was in possession of Gibson's white 1988 Lincoln Town Car, bearing Georgia tag 612 GHP.

Paul said information about Maddox's disappearance had been entered into the Georgia Crime Information Center database in case he or the car should turn up elsewhere in the state.

Maddox is described as white male, 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, with short dark hair. He usually wears blue jeans and earrings.

Anyone with information about Maddox's whereabouts should call Athens-Clarke police at (706) 613-3337.
